The present invention relates to a textile with transparent light structure and heat-insulating construction and the method of manufacturing the same. More particularly, it refers to a textile comprising a surface layer and an underlying layer. Through the multiple high shrinkage-rate yarns, an air layer is formed between the surface layer and the underlying layer, thus having the heat insulating effect. Further, the transparent and non-transparent weft yarns are adopted in the surface layer and underlying layer to facilitate the transparent light function.
2. Description of the Related Art
Accordingly, the upholstery textile has been ever increasingly tending to meet the social requirements of a comfortable and healthy life in recent years. As a result, the upholstery textile is trending to the development of functional features, especially the dominant trend in anti-radiance, light shielding, UV light shielding, and heat insulating. Additionally, with the concerns about the converging of function and trend, most of the foreign developed countries have adopted the combination of the designs in evolving the material and textile construction to facilitate the functionality of the upholstery textile, thus resulting in the increasing delicate, systematical, and aesthetic trends.
Light-shielding textile products are widely used nowadays, such as window curtain, sun canopy, sun umbrella, beach umbrella, and garden umbrella. Because of the advancing technology, the applications of the textile products are expanding in parallel with the soaring requirement of the sun-shading textile. From the need in improving the sun shading in the windows of house, the textile of sun curtain is indeed an economical choice. The dominant function of the sun curtain is to block the sunlight penetration, and if the accessory function of transparent light to offer the indoor illumination can be included, it would significantly advance the commercial value of sun-shielding curtain. Generally, sun curtain with light shielding only requires increasing the textile density, or dyeing into dark color, or even filling up the gap by coating process. However, in order to meet the adequate transparent light and heat-insulating functions at once, the textile construction would be obliged to be modified. From the previous sun curtain with a pure light shielding function to one with adequate transparent light and heat-insulating as well, it requires to consider the textile construction with blocking the direct sunlight from some specialized angles, but allowing the scattering light to penetrate.
As the disclosed light shielding textile in Japanese patent No. 09-000425, wherein the multiple construction textile is formed of the light-shielding yarn of thermoplastic synthetic fiber and non-light-shielding yarn of facile thermal deformation. In which, the surface is made of said non-light-shielding yarn with said light shielding yarn embedded there-under, which is heated and pressed into compact shape, and forms a light-shielding layer inside, thus constructing a textile with the function of light shielding.
As the improved structure of light-shielding screen in Taiwan patent No. 423534, wherein the screen is dominantly made of the flat weaving of warp yarn and weft yarn. Its characteristic is the rising warp of the light-shielding screen with a flat yarn wove on each adequate distance so as to advance the light shielding and ventilation. Wherein, said flat yarn is clad with an aluminum layer.
As the light-penetrable textile with incongruous direction and the method of manufacturing the same in the Japanese patent 2001-271246, wherein the permeable incident light is decreased from the vertical direction of the cloth while the transmittancy of the incident light from the inclinatory direction of warp yarn is prompted comparatively. Therefore, it can not only advance the light-shielding function of perspective, but also facilitate the transparent light effectively as well. Adopting the multi-layer construction textile of 3-7 layers, with warp yarn of luster cloth and weft yarn of light-shielding function, the interstice is formed by the designed construction so as to facilitate the effective penetration of the incident light from the comparatively inclinatory direction of the warp yarn.
3M had claimed for the U.S. Pat. No. 6,120,901 under the patent subject—UV protected syndiotactic polystyrene overlay films on Sep. 19, 2000, wherein said UV protected film can retain the robust dimensional stability under extreme environment with the manufactured syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) film of macromolecule capable of low moisture absorption, excellent thermal stability, and high transparency. When used in combination with a UV-blocking coating, the sPS film exhibits a degree of resistance to UV-induced discoloration and degradation that is substantially superior to unprotected sPS films or films based on sPS resins that are merely compounded with a UV absorber, and can be applied to signals and any outdoor UV protected applications.
In addition, U.S. Pat. No. 6,475,609, claimed on Nov. 5, 2002, shows color shifting film glitter, wherein the glitter, at least a portion of which comprises color shifting film. The glitter is useful in any of a variety of ways, including in loose form, attached to the surface of a substrate, or in a dispersible combination.
Further, as the Japanese patents No. 09-000425, and TW423534, wherein the main drawbacks are:
- 1. The light shielding yarn is used to produce the light shielding effect, and to advance the light-shielding rate the flatness of the yarn must be increased. However there are some difficulties in the spinning and weaving of the yarn with high flatness.
- 2. The post finishing method of heating and pressing the yarns to flat to achieve the advanced light shielding effect would easily cause the thermo-dissociation of textile and deterioration of the material.
- 3. The surface of flat yarn is covered with an aluminum layer to achieve the light shielding effect. However, this practice would prompt the cost and cause the weaving difficulty.
- 4. In order to meet the present consumers requirement on the light shielding textile product, it tends to contain both transparent light and heat-insulating characters. Therefore, the product with only transparent light character is out of date for the market demand.
Further, the main shortages in J.P. 2001-271246 are shown as following:
- 1. The structure of multiple layers with 3 to 7 layers is difficult to implement the weaving.
- 2. The spacing of the multiple-layer textile cannot be accurately controlled and friendly adjusted, which may affect the anisotropic effect.
- 3. The same structure with different types of yarn would result in large difference in anisotropic directions. Therefore, it limits the types of the yarn for the usage.
- 4. In order to enhance the light permeability of oblique transmission, it decreases the light shielding efficiency in the vertical direction.
- 5. It only has an anisotropic transparent light effect, but lacks of heat-insulating characteristic.
Finally, the main disadvantages in U.S. Pat. No. 6,120,901, U.S. Pat. No. 6,475,209 are shown as the followings:
- 1. It only can be coated or adhered on the transparent surface, but not applied to sun canopy, garden umbrella, tent, or other outdoor-related textile products.
- 2. Thin film cannot be used as the design for the graph and the color.
- 3. Thin film cannot be used individually.
According to the afore-mentioned problems, to provide a novel textile with transparent light and heat-insulating construction and the method of manufacturing the same—which has always been the concern of the inventor for a long time not only can improve the difficulty in conventional weaving but also conquer the shortage of inevitably adopting special flat yarn or special post finishing. Besides, it can also arbitrarily control and adjust the light textile with heat insulating effect. Based on the engagement in the research, development, and practical sales experience in the related products of textile for many years, the idea of invention has been in embryo, and finally, a kind of construction of light textile with heat-insulating function and improved method of manufacturing the same have been figured out via the dedicated personal professional knowledge, study design, and seminars to conquer the above-mentioned problems.
The main object of the present invention is to provide a textile with transparent light structure and heat-insulating construction and the method of manufacturing the same. The textile comprises a surface layer and an underlying layer. The weft yarn of the said underlying layer and the surface layer includes a non-transparent weft yarn and a transparent yarn. By controlling the arrangement and ratio of the non-transparent yarn and the transparent yarn, the transmittancy of the textile can be adjusted. Further, through the high shrinkage-rate yarn, the air layer can be obtained on both the surface and underlying layers, thus constructing the heat-insulating effect. As a result, the textile in the present invention contains the transparent light and heat-insulating effects.
The second purpose of the present invention is to offer a textile with transparent light structure and heat-insulating construction and method of manufacturing the same, wherein the counter position of the underlying and surface layers' transparent yarns and non-transparent yarns is used to contain the permeable quantity of light—the controlling of transparent light.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a textile with transparent light structure and heat-insulating construction and the method of manufacturing the same, wherein the shrinkage rate of the multiple high shrinkage-rate yarns is controlled to contain the air layer thickness among the surface layer, underlying layer, and the multiple high shrinkage-rate yarns so as to advance or punch down the heat-insulating effect and control the thickness of the textile as well.
To achieve the afore-mentioned purposes and functions, the present invention is related to a textile with transparent light structure and heat-insulating function and method of manufacturing the same. Wherein the present invention discloses a textile with transparent light and heat-insulating effects comprises a surface layer and an underlying layer, and the weft yarns of said underlying and surface layers include a non-transparent yarn and a transparent yarn. Via controlling the arrangement and ratio of the non-transparent yarn and transparent yarn, the transparent light of the textile can be managed. Further, the counter position of the non-transparent and transparent yarns on the surface of underlying layer blocks the direct sunlight from radiating into the inside of the textile directly, while the soft oblique light of the sunrise and sunset is permeable, wherein the angle of the oblique sunlight accepted by the textile can be controlled by the arrangement and ratio of the non-transparent yarn and transparent yarn.
Moreover, the high shrinkage-rate yarn between the said underlying layer and surface layer would contract through the thermal treatment, thus causing the said surface and underling layers protruding to form a three-dimensional structure individually. In addition, the various thickness of textile can be managed by controlling the shrinkage rate of the high shrinkage-rate yarn, and then the different shrinkage rates would also contribute to the varied air layer thickness of the said underlying layer, surface layer, and multiple high shrinkage-rate yarns. Wherein said air layer is the heat-insulating reason of the textile. Therefore, the varied heat-insulating effect can be managed by controlling said shrinkage rate.
To have a further understanding about the features of the structure and the achieved effects, of the present invention, the preferred embodiment and detailed description are unfolded as following.
The present invention is to solve the problems in the prior arts, such as (1) light shielding textile such as JP 09-000425 and TW 423534; (2) the textile of light transparency with anisotropy and the method of fabricating the same such as JP 2001-271246; (3) light-shielding thin film such as U.S. Pat. No. 6,120,901, U.S. Pat. No. 6,475,209, and etc. The weft of the surface layer and the underlying layer is used by the present invention, wherein the weft yarn, which comprises a non-transparent yarn and transparent yarn, facilitates the transmittancy and weaving. Besides, the different shrinkage rates between the high shrinkage-rate yarn and monofilament are used to produce three-dimensionally structuralized textile thereto increase the interstice of the textile and achieve significant heat-insulating effect.
As shown in
- Step S10: weaving multiple yarns, which comprise transparent weft yarns, non-transparent weft yarns, multiple warp yarns and multiple yarns with high shrinkage rate, as the consecutive surface layer and underlying layer with the said multiple yarns of high shrinkage rate in the middle of the layers; and
- Step S20: contracting the high shrinkage-rate yarn by the thermal treatment, thus causing the surface layer and underlying layer protruding individually.
In step 10, the surface layer, the underlying layer, and the multiple high shrinkage-rate yarns are woven at the same time instead of the individual weaving. The weft yarn of the surface layer and the underlying layer individually includes the transparent yarn and the non-transparent yarn. In step 20, the thermal treatment is used to contract the multiple high shrinkage-rate yarns so as to produce protrusions of the surface layer and the underlying layer. From the appearance, it is a three-dimensional, and it is a tree-dimensional construction from the structure as well. And the weft yarn, which comprises the transparent yarn and non-transparent yarn, of the surface layer and underlying layer facilitate the transparent light effect of the textile, while the heat insulating effect is achieved via the three-dimensional construction made of the multiple high shrinkage-rate yarns.
As shown in
Wherein the surface layer includes a first weft yarn 12, which comprises a first transparent yarn 122 and a first non-transparent yarn 124. The multiple high shrinkage-rate yarns 30 are under the surface layer 10 with the underlying layer 20 there-under, wherein the underlying includes a second weft yarn 22. The second weft yarn 22 comprises a second transparent yarn 222 and a second non-transparent yarn 224. By controlling the first transparent yarn 122, the first non-transparent yarn 124, the second transparent yarn 222, and the second non-transparent yarn 224, the textile with different transmittancy can be available.
The transmittancy depends on the arrangement and ratio of the transparent yarn and the non-transparent yarn on the surface layer 10 and the underlying layer 20, wherein the ratio is between 1/5 and 5/1. The arranged position of the transparent yarn 122 and the non-transparent yarn 124 of the surface layer 10 is in the opposite direction to the second transparent yarn 222 and the second non-transparent yarn 224 of the underlying layer 20.

As the test result, the comparison is Textile Sample C>Textile Sample B>Textile Sample A from the aspect of transmittancy because the transparent textile compared to non-transparent textile of Textile Sample C is 2:2, which shortens the hiatuses and prompts the number of hiatus per square, thus pumping up the whole transmittable area and advancing the parallel transmittancy. From the experiment, it also manifests that the purpose of adjusting and controlling the transmittancy can be managed by changing the arrangement and ratio of transparent textile and non-transparent textile combined with appropriate construction design.
